Curriculum - Internal Medicine Residency

Reading’s Internal Medicine Training Program emphasizes competence in:

• Decision-making skills
• Rewarding doctor/patient relationships
• Practice improvement/patient safety skills
• Clinical inquiry/core research skills
• Reflective skills for life-long learning and satisfaction

The residency uses an x+y schedule, allowing you to be on four weeks of inpatient followed by one week of outpatient, without interruption to either.

Beyond the rotation experience, the program provides year-long experiential training in practice improvement, research inquiry, and personal development through a distinctive portfolio program.

There is significant flexibility in the curriculum, allowing residents to develop the specific skills critical for their future training or practice.
